The person was lying on the table. Her chubby cheeks were pressed against the tabletop, looking extremely cute.
He subconsciously lightened his steps and quietly came in front of Tang Youyou. Then he saw the neatly stacked books on the table. The titles were carefully marked on the covers, along with the numbers she had written herself.
This young scholar is really an interesting one.
Thinking of this, Rong Xun sat down in front of the table, picked up the hand - copied booklets arranged on it. The handwriting on the first page was passable, but as he turned to the second, third...
Every subsequent page was filled with dense handwriting. From the writing, he could tell that Tang Youyou was in a hurry. How could someone write so ugly? It was like scribbles, hardly legible.
It would take a long time just to make out the words in the book.
At this moment, Rong Xun didn't know how to feel when facing the remaining sixty hand - copied booklets.
Then he heard the person beside him snoring slightly. Suddenly, he got irritated and gently tapped on the table with his knuckles.
Hearing the noise, Tang Youyou sat up in a hurry. She fixed her eyes and saw that Rong Xun had already returned.
Tang Youyou quickly wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and said shyly, "Your Majesty, I haven't had a good sleep recently, so I dozed off."
Hearing this, Rong Xun just placed the book in front of Tang Youyou. He said coldly, "Read the contents of this book carefully for me. If you misread a single word, you'll have to copy one more book tomorrow."
Seeing that Rong Xun was so angry for no apparent reason, Tang Youyou had no choice but to take the book he handed her. When she first opened the first page, she could read it smoothly. But starting from the second page, she only saw circles and some inexplicable symbols on the book.
What the hell! Who wrote these spells? It's simply beyond comprehension!
Just as she was getting annoyed, Rong Xun looked at the frowning Tang Youyou with a malicious smile. "What? Can't you understand such clear handwriting? You could read it at the beginning, couldn't you?"
Hearing the mockery in Rong Xun's words, Tang Youyou felt strange. Why was this guy talking in such a sarcastic way out of the blue?
Just as she inadvertently closed the book, she saw several big characters clearly written on the cover, and the handwriting was clearly hers.
Did she really write this book? It doesn't make sense.
These words...
Seeing Tang Youyou lost in thought, Rong Xun spoke again, "What? Can't you recognize the book you copied in your dream? These are all precious ancient books. You managed to copy them like this. You've really gone to great lengths."
At this time, Tang Youyou finally remembered why the handwriting was so peculiar. That night, the candlelight was so dim that she could hardly see the words on the page. In such a situation, even the most accomplished calligrapher couldn't write a single proper word.
She had no choice but to write like that.
After Tang Youyou briefly explained the situation, she found that this guy wasn't really interested in her explanation. Instead, he was probably brewing an even worse idea in his mind.
Rong Xun said, "In that case, I'll have people prepare more candles for you. They'll be lit beside you all night long. You don't have to stay up all night anymore. Just follow a normal schedule. Spend the rest of your time copying books for me here. You can't stop until I'm satisfied."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou was completely dumbfounded. Whether this guy had recognized her or not, he had successfully worn away the last bit of her patience.
At this moment, Tang Youyou had no desire to say anything. She just sat on one side quietly, watching the maids and servants bring in a cartload of candles.
Coincidentally, at this time, Rong Xun received a message. With a solemn look on his face, he quickly left the camp. Instantly, Tang Youyou was left alone in the camp.
At this moment, there was only one word in Tang Youyou's mind, "Run!"
It's now or never!
The best policy is to run away.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was gone, Tang Youyou carefully poked her head out of the camp. To her surprise, the entire military camp was empty, and there was no one guarding the camp.
This is really strange.
But Tang Youyou didn't care about these things. All she wanted to do now was to leave this damned place. So she followed the moonlight and groped her way out of the military camp step by step.
However, after she left the military camp, she walked for a long time but still couldn't find the city gate. This was really strange.
Could it be that she was lost again?
But just then, a place like a manor appeared in the distance. There were some lights there, and it looked very lively.
It seemed that she had found a place.
As she slowly approached the twinkling lights, Tang Youyou finally realized that this wasn't the border of the Ming Dynasty at all. By mistake, she had walked into someone else's military camp.
However, the clothes the people inside were wearing seemed a bit familiar to Tang Youyou.
These people were... from the Western Regions!
Thinking of this, she remembered that just now Rong Xun had been hurriedly called away by several generals. It was very likely that it was because of this.
It seemed that these people were trying to catch the Ming Dynasty off guard. She remembered the way Rong Xun had worked hard to review the memorials every day and what had happened in the past few days.
Suddenly, she felt reluctant to leave.
"Rong Xun, you owe me this time!"
Tang Youyou murmured in her heart.
After thinking it through, she carefully sneaked into the military camp. Looking at the patrolling soldiers inside, she could tell that their defenses were very strict.
It would be extremely difficult for her to just sneak in directly. But seeing that they were all big men, she came up with an idea.
The beauty trap!
Tang Youyou simply tidied up her clothes. She used the original waistband as a decoration, tied up her sleeves, and made a few adjustments to other parts of the clothes.
In just a short while, her original scholar's clothes had turned into a beautiful long dress. The dress looked very nice on her.
At the same time, Tang Youyou removed all the makeup on her face, revealing her true appearance. It was a face that could topple kingdoms and cities. No one in the world could be more charming than her.
Since she was used to wearing bright - colored dresses, she felt a bit uncomfortable in this self - made white dress.
She calmly walked towards the entrance of the military camp not far away. Just as she was about to reach the gate, she pretended to accidentally fall. A small cut appeared on her leg. At the same time, she raised her eyes and looked at the guards in the distance.
